My husband loves blackberries, and July means it is blackberry time!  Every summer, I attempt a cobbler, but this year, I couldn’t find a recipe I wanted to try, so I made a blackberry pie.  These blackberries are the best, too.  They were given to me by my mother-in-law.  I did not have to tromp out to the patch and risk chiggers, skeeters, and ticks.

I love a fruit pie that has sour cream in it.  That is what drew me to this recipe.  Try it out.  It’s pretty tasty!

Blackberry Pie

• 3 c. fresh blackberries
• 1 c. sugar
• 1/3 c. all-purpose flour

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/4 c. butter
• 1 9″ pie shell

Place 3 cups berries in the pie shell and set aside.  Mix 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour and salt.  Add eggs and sour cream, stirring until blended.  Spoon onto berries.  Combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1/3 cup all-purpose flour .  Sprinkle on top of pie.  Bake at 350 degrees 50-55 minutes.  Enjoy!
